The Total Wealth Academy Podcast

Welcome back to the show! In this episode, Steve discusses his thoughts on thriving in retirement by developing a "side hustle" now.  A side hustle is a newer word in the American vocabulary, and it means creating a job or business on the side while you work your regular 9-5. But doesn't Steve preach passive income and not needing to work anymore? Yes! That is precisely why he is taking the stanch that he is. Tune in and find out more!

Welcome back to the show! In this episode, Steve discusses the importance of creating and writing down your goals.

Too dramatic to believe? Tune in now and give Steve a chance to open your eyes.

Welcome back to the show! In this episode, Steve discusses financial IQ and how people miss many opportunities to invest in real estate because of mistaken beliefs.

Welcome back to the show! In this episode, Steve discusses almost everything this is to discuss real estate rehabs with Mark Bouknight of Gulf Coast Builds.

So, who can you go to, and what should you get done? Steve is talking with Mark Bouknight from Gulf Coast Builds about just that!
